It definitely took a bit of bribing before Dan would allow me to post that photo! Also, I’m glad we aren’t the only ones who couldn’t quite get a handle on Chinese! I wish we could have had the opportunity to visit China for more of an understanding of the similarities. Thanks for the encouragement!

The poncho is a must have for sure; stinky tofu is a one time try kinda food; we also failed at learning Chinese…and we did experience an earthquake, but not while on the toilet! That photo is hilarious.

Even though it’s sad to say goodbye to somewhere you’ve called home for 2 years, I’m sure there will be many amazing memories to be had in your future. Can’t wait to hear all about your trip!

Cheers guys

Thanks Brynn! We can’t believe it has been 2 years already either! Glad you guys are still enjoying Taiwan! How is Taipei treating you?

Haha thanks Heather! It took a bit of convincing Dan before he would allow me to publish that photo! :-P We still gag every time we smell stinky tofu as well-not so sure how we’ve managed to eat it so many times! We’re always amazed at how quickly time goes by here!

Thanks Steph! It’s so true-the smell really is almost intolerable. And it certainly finds you before you find it! I’m not sure if I would say it tastes much better than it smells…haha! Basically the smellier it is, the more potent. The only times we can tolerate it is if we aren’t gagging over the fumes! A lot of our Taiwanese friends love it, but a lot hate it too, so it is very likely your friends were in fact trying to avoid it :-) You didn’t miss out on too much though! And it’s always good to have reasons to return!

Congrats on 2 years in Taiwan and it will be very interesting to see what the coming years bring as you break free and explore the rest of Asia!

Thanks Bernadette, that means a lot, and we appreciate you taking the time to send us the positive feedback! I bet you really experienced all a scooter can do in Thailand! :-) It was a really fun post to write-glad someone else could relate!
